1. Samantha A.

“Samantha was great! So great I have already started recommending her to friends and family. It was a relief to know that our dogs were taken care of and we could relax on our vacation”


2. Anastasia W.

“She worked wonderfully with our brand new puppy and was more than happy to work around our schedules. Our puppy adores her and we could tell he had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is a fantastic listener when it comes to any house rules you may have, and really tries to get to know the dog and the people. I highly recommend her for your next booking, you will not be disappointed!”


3. Lael S.

“Lael swooped in to take care of our dogs when our other dog watcher had scheduling problems. She was accommodating and cared for our 9 week post leg surgery dog and other dog with congestive heart failure. Thank you, Lael, for making our vacation worry free!”


4. Teresa W.


“Teresa was amazing! She requested to come meet Penny and learn her routine before the night I was gone to make it easier for my girl. I received lots of pictures while I was gone, several of them with Penny snuggled in Teresa’s lap! She made sure Penny got her medicine as directed. I would absolutely trust Teresa to stay with my baby again!”


5. Paige P.

“Paige is wonderful! She took very good care of our fur babies and they didn't get stressed! I would recommend her and plan on using her services again in the future!”


6. Tori M.

“I don’t want y’all to steal my girl but I can’t deny Tori is the absolute BEST!! She was responsive and compassionate she treated my Odie with love and care. Sent lots of pics with them out and about the park she followed my instructions and when she left she made sure my home was in pristine condition. She can’t be beat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”


7. Katie F.

“Katie was amazing! She took such good care of Mac and was super responsive to me the whole time. I ended up having to stay out of town one night longer than originally planned too and she was able to help out and stay one more night. So sweet and kind. Will absolutely hire her again.”


8. Jacqueline S.

“Jacqueline was great! She sent lots of pictures and even a video. Our dog Rosco seemed very content and happy while she was at the house.”

10. Maria O.

“Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰”


11. Audrey B.

“Audrey did an incredible job taking care of our dog and cat! She sent regular updates and I was always assured that our pets were in great hands. We came home to the house just as we left it and the animals as happy as ever.”


12. Ozvaldo N.

“All three of my boys absolutely love their Uncle Oz! Oz watched our dogs while we were gone for almost a week. They have separation anxiety (and so do I), and Oz made sure to send pictures and videos every day to keep us from worrying about them. My boys were so happy with him!”


13. Morgan S.

“Dogs were extremely happy when we got back! Morgan sent us photos the whole time and was very communicative with us while we were away. Will definitely have her watch the dogs next time we go out of town.”


14. Michaela W.

“Michaela was wonderful with my dogs. You can tell she really cares about them. My dogs warmed up nicely to her, and they sometimes have a hard time warming up to new people. I am very thankful for her watching my home and my fur babies. We will be rebooking with her!”


15. Carissa C.

“I greatly appreciate her willingness to stay with my animals while I had to travel for work. It was an unexpected last minute trip and she was very accommodating and flexible! I feel fortunate to have found her, she was very friendly.”


16. Morgan V.


“What an absolute treasure to have Mary and Morgan taking care of my precious fur babies and my house full of plants, too! They were amazing and made me feel so confident in the care they provided to my two 90lbs people-loving lap- dogs! In fact Mary showered them with so much love and attention, I think they were hoping she was with me when I came home! Excellent communication prior, during, and day of return-even a special treat when I arrived back! Highly recommend this dynamic duo for your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort as well as your own peace of mind while traveling! Thank you ladies!”


17. Mariah D.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of both dogs and cats with all personalities and sizes. I am comfortable with reactive dogs as well as managing food aggression and other behaviors. I am comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats as well as shots if needed. I am a very active person so I will keep your pet entertained and stimulated so they won’t even notice you’re away :) I’m currently working my “normal” job in the evenings and Saturdays and am looking to fill my mornings/afternoons with keeping your babies company! I am available 7am-330pm on M/Th/Fr as well as Saturday after 3pm and anytime Sunday. I have experience with crating and am comfortable and open to continuing whatever routine you usually would with your dog while you’re home. I am open to taking your pup on walks at various nature trails in the area or just staying close and in the neighborhood. I am able to walk your dog for any distance you’d like, price adjusted for longer walks.

“Autumn was awesome and took great care of our cat Baldwin while we were away!”


19. Meryk P.
About: For over 10 years, I’ve been dedicated to caring for all types of cats and dogs, providing reliable and loving service to my family and neighbors. From playful puppies to calm senior cats, I’ve gained experience with pets of all breeds and personalities. My commitment to their well-being ensures they receive the best care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and their owners, always prioritizing safety and happiness. I’m currently working part time and I get out of school at 11:25 on weekdays so there are many opportunities in my day to take care of animals! My backyard is over 1 acre large so there is lots of room for animals to run around! My yard is fenced and there is a doggy door on my back door so dogs/cats can go out freely. I feed my animals twice a day and keep my cats bowl full at all times, I always feed other dogs depending on owner specifications.


20. Cali T.

“Cali was great!! We have a doberman puppy who has a spinal disability but also has a lot of energy, so we were so nervous leaving her. But after meeting Cali and hearing all of her experience with dogs, we were comfortable and excited to leave Rome with her! She asked all the right questions and understood all of our expectations. She also took good care of our home! Would definitely recommend Cali to anyone looking for someone to watch and care for their pup!😄”
